Chapter 458: The Immortal Alliance has a giant rat
Jiao Xiuyuan said excitedly: "You mean, at that time, even if someone offers them the Samantabhadra True Leaf at an outrageous price, they will have to buy it in order to fulfill the return agreement?"
"And if we take up most of the market share of Puxian Zhenye in advance, we can force the other party to..."
"I'm afraid it's easy to make several times the profit!"
"Great!" After figuring out the key points, Jiao Xiuyuan slapped his thigh and exclaimed.
"Brother Jiao is indeed a genius in business!" Li Fan nodded and praised.
Jiao Xiuyuan did not take Li Fan's compliment to heart. His expression changed and he frowned and thought carefully for a moment.
The excitement on his face slowly disappeared, and he shook his head and said, "Your idea is indeed brilliant, but it seems too idealistic."
"What if the other party, when borrowing the Samantabhadra True Leaf on credit, has a clause in the contract that allows them to repay it with equivalent contribution points?"
"What if the other party is willing to break the contract and retaliate, but is unwilling to buy back the Puxian True Leaf?"
"There are too many uncontrollable factors and the risks are too high."
Li Fan said with some disapproval: "Is there any business without risk in the world? Compared to the profits it can bring, I think it is worth a try."
Jiao Xiuyuan's expression changed slightly, and he was about to respond, but he heard Li Fan say: "Besides, I think that even if the other party gives up wrestling with us and withdraws voluntarily, the large amount of Puxian True Leaves we purchased will make more money than losses."
"Why do you say that, fellow Daoist?" Jiao Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows and asked in disbelief.
A smile appeared on Li Fan's lips and he extended his right index finger.
A moment later, a crystal clear icosahedral dice appeared out of thin air.
As it continued to spin rapidly, many broken images were reflected.
After a moment's pause, Jiao Xiuyuan recognized the treasure in Li Fan's hand and exclaimed, "Heaven and Earth Dice?!"
Just as he was about to take a closer look at the picture on the dice, Li Fan immediately put it away.
"After my deduction, this matter should be almost correct." Li Fan said seriously.
Seeing Li Fan's confident look, Jiao Xiuyuan couldn't help but become a little hesitant.
"Let me find out more." After saying that, the puppet in front of Li Fan became completely silent, as if it had lost its main controlling consciousness.
Li Fan was not in a hurry either. He stood quietly aside and waited patiently.
This wait lasted for a whole day and a night.
When life came back to Jiao Xiuyuan, he suddenly opened his eyes and showed a look of joy: "There's hope!"
"Oh? What did you find out, fellow Taoist?" Li Fan asked with interest.
Jiao Xiuyuan approached and lowered his voice: "According to reliable information, the ones who manipulated the price of Samantabhadra True Leaves are several Divine Transformation cultivators headed by Tianshu Prefecture's Tan Taican."
"Their backgrounds, more or less, can be related to the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."
"And the talismans used in various places are basically monopolized by them."
"Tan Tai Can..." This surname is too special, which makes Li Fan think of the formation genius, Tan Tai Tao, who died in his previous life.
"Are they from the same family?" Li Fan thought to himself, but he remained calm and continued listening.
Jiao Xiuyuan continued to talk: "The facts are somewhat different from what we speculated. Because they control the production line of the Xianming Bianzhen Fu, these people have a large backlog of Puxian Zhenye in their hands."
"The Wanxian League collects a limited number of Sagely and True Truth Talismans each year, and the profit is too slow. So, this group of people came up with a crooked idea."
"Some of them used some of the Samantabhadra True Leaves in their hands as collateral to borrow a large amount of contribution points from Qingfeng Hall."
"At the same time, the rest of the people are borrowing Samantabhadra True Leaves from Qingfeng Hall on credit."
"After a round trip, the Puxian Zhenye returned to my hands. At the same time, I gained contribution points of equal value through arbitrage."
…
Li Fan heard this and frowned slightly, interrupting Jiao Xiuyuan: "I remember that the interest rate of Qingfeng Hall is not low, right? How much profit can they make by doing this? Moreover, after getting the contribution points, why do they want to go to the trouble of lending out the Puxian True Leaves again?"
Jiao Xiuyuan smiled and said, "That's why I said there's an opportunity to take advantage of."
"Because, in reality, these Samantabhadra True Leaves are the property of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."
"The matter of the Sagely Identification Talisman involves the secrets of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, so naturally we have to take control measures."
"Tan Taican and his group only got the position of being responsible for making the Sage and True Discrimination Talisman because of their respective backgrounds."
"Every once in a while, the Wanxian League headquarters will send people to conduct routine inspections."
"Although I have internal connections and can get the news in advance, I still have to do the surface work. At least the account can't be too deficit."
Jiao Xiuyuan snorted, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes: "Even though the profits of this business are already terrifyingly high, they are still not satisfied."
"They mortgaged it without authorization in exchange for huge contribution points, leveraged it, and stirred up trouble in the market."
"And these people all have deep backgrounds and are well-informed. So they are always successful and make a lot of money. They really don't care about the little interest from Qingfeng Hall."
"Let's not talk about anything else, just talking about the Puxian True Leaf, almost all the stocks of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance are in their hands. It's easy for them to manipulate the price, isn't it? It's no problem to harvest the cultivators who don't know the reason."
Li Fan nodded slowly and understood the methods used by Tan Taican and his group.
To put it bluntly, it means misappropriating the strategic materials of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and exchanging them for contribution points.
Then, they use inside information to buy low and sell high, earning the difference and making a profit for themselves.
"Such a crime is not a small one. Fellow Daoist Jiao was able to find out so much. Your ability is really extraordinary!" Li Fan came back to his senses and praised.
Jiao Xiuyuan waved his hand and said, "These people are really unkind and too arrogant! Not only did they not keep it strictly confidential, they also used it as a bragging capital in their casual chats. That's why I know about it."
"Otherwise, how could I know such a private matter!"
Li Fan smiled and did not dwell on this issue. Instead, he discussed with Jiao Xiuyuan the feasibility of sniping Tan Taican's gang.
"In this way, my previous concerns are no longer a problem."
"No matter what, they must take back the Puxian True Leaf. Even if it means losing everything they have, they must do so."
"Otherwise, once the truth comes out, even the strong backers behind them won't be able to protect them."
"By then, it won't be a matter of bankruptcy. Death and extinction will be the desired outcome."
Jiao Xiuyuan's face flashed coldly as he spoke in a firm tone.
"Good!" Li Fan clapped his hands with an approval look on his face.
"The only thing I'm worried about is that you and I are outnumbered and may not be the opponent."
"If we can't kill the enemy in one blow, once they react, our plan will fail."
Jiao Xiuyuan suddenly said.
